Description
For reference here’s the spot in “the video the costume is based on”: http://youtu.be/wagn8Wrmzuc?t=2m16s
It was designed by Alex Noble. “Here’s another great reference for the designer”: http://gagafashionland.com/2011/05/judas-fashion-part-7-alex-noble/
This was the most challenging and fun project I have ever done. I am shocked it came out so well! I was literally going frame by frame through the video to figure out the details. There are still some structural challenges I hope to work out before the big party in Boston tonight. Mainly, the heart is SO HEAVY I had to back it with a ruler!

AMAZING! Well done. I’m definately going to show this to my teenage daughter. Might even get a squeek out of her.
